CSS vinyl sleeve for Secret 7"

I am entering a contest through Talenthouse.com to create a vinyl sleeve for the band CSS. This is for the event the Secret 7" it is an exciting project combining music and art in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. Seven bands and recording artists (CSS, Florence + The Machine, The Cure, DJ Shadow, Ben Howard, Bombay Bicycle Club and Noah and The Whale) are inviting creatives to design the artwork for a seven inch vinyl sleeve inspired by one of their songs. The project will culminate in 700 unique vinyl sleeves displayed in Idea Generation Gallery in London in the week leading up to Record Store Day 2012. On that day, each of the vinyls at the gallery will be available to purchase with all of the profits going to Teenage Cancer Trust.
None of the buyers will know who created the sleeve, or even which song it's for, until they are holding it in their hands - the secret lies within.

Here is the link to vote for my cover on January 19th!

Captain Thug!!!

So I have had my Wacom Cintiq monitor for over a week and finally got to sit down and punch out an illustration.
So after hours of sitting around thinking of what to draw, I finally just started to move the pencil around and came up with this.

 

After scanning it, I was finally able to ink and color the illustration and I my opinion this is my favorite drawing I have done in a long time!

 

Well after this result, I know I will be adding alot more illustration pretty soon!
